title: [Results of retrobulbar irradiation in case of benign endocrinous ophthalmopathy (author's transl)].
abstract: 83 patients with a benign endocrinous ophthalmopathy were submitted to radio-iodine and thyreostatic therapy and to high voltage therapy of the retrobulbar region. The ophthalmologic controls showed that 30% of the treated patients had improved data and 70% had unchanged data. These results were independent from the individual radiation qualities used and the field sizes.
